It was only a few years ago that Mount Pleasant was deemed the city’s most desirable new neighbourhood. In the few short years since, Vancouver’s real estate market exploded, increasing demand not just in Mount Pleasant, but also throughout False Creek. Fortunately, a new supply of urban living has arrived, offering prospective buyers another shot at living amongst the murals and microbreweries of South East False Creek.

Second + Main is the latest major development addition to the area. The 12-story building will feature 233 units comprised of studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom homes. Each unit will integrate open floor plans with modular features and the chance to live at the intersection of Vancouver’s most exciting neighbourhoods.

Rather than simply existing within Mount Pleasant, Chinatown and the Olympic Village, Second + Main seeks to add value. Amongst the existing galleries, microbreweries and independently owned cafes, Second + Main will offer new retail space on both Main and 2nd Avenue. These new additions will line the building’s ground floor and a new pedestrian linkage that leads to the building’s accessible courtyard, adding to the area’s already outstanding collection of parks and retail.

First time buyers and those looking for rental suites should take note of the development’s micro-suites, which provide the functionality of a 2-bedroom home for the price of a 1-bedroom. Extendable kitchen islands and modular storage offer owners’ optimal functionality and the ability to reconfigure the space to fit your own lifestyle.
